Horchata

A glass of horchata de chufa with some fartons in Valencia

Horchata (/ɔːrˈɑːtə/; Spanish: [oɾˈtʃata] ), or orxata (Valencian: [oɾˈtʃata]), is a name given to various beverages, which are generally plant based, but sometimes contain milk.[1][2][3] In Spain, it is made with soaked, ground, and sweetened tiger nuts. In some parts of the Americas, the base is jicaro, melon or sesame seeds, or white rice, along with spices. Different varieties can be served hot or cold, and may be used as a flavor in other beverages, such as frappé coffee.

Horchata milk, in its natural form, should not contain lactose because it is a vegetable drink made from tigernut, water and sugar. However, manufacturers often add lactose to it to improve the product, so please read the label carefully to find out the list of ingredients before you drink horchata milk.
